End to Nasser Aid Demanded in Senate; Israel Pact Urged WASHINGTON (JTA) — The Senate Foreign Relations Commit- tee Tuesday voted to put Congress on record as demanding an im- mediate halt in aid shipments to any country, like Egypt, which al- lows United States property to be damaged by mob action. The committee acted on a pro- posal by Sen. Vance Hartke, In- diana Democrat, who felt that the recent burning of the John F. Ken- nedy Memorial Library in Cairo should not be tolerated. The measure voiced the sense of Congress but is, not mandatory. It asked that aid be severed and restored only when the President determines that anti-American ac- tion has ceased and has received suitable assurances it will not be ,tresumed. The new provision, not requested by the administration, was added to the $3,400,000,000 foreign aid bill now pending before the commit- tee. It was added after senators voiced reservations about con- tinued aid to such nations as Egypt, which have permitted desecration of American facilities. Meanwhile, in a speech on the floor of the House of Representa- tives, Rep. Thomas C. McGrath, Jr., New Jersey Democrat, call- ed on the government Tuesday to enter a mutual security pact with Israel, to supply Israel with weapons, and to cease shipment of American arms to all Arab states. He cited Arab threats to divert Israel's water sources and said: "I feel it is time that the United States enter into a mutual security pact with Israel, our only reliable ally in the Middle East." In support of his demand, he quoted a statement made last month by President Nasser of Egypt that "we shall enter Pales- tine on a path of blood." Accord- ing to Rep. McGrath, "prepara- tions are already underway to di- vert large quantities of water from the Jordan, and Israel can reason- ably be expected to resist with force." He pointed out that "Soviet Rus- sia is supplying Nasser with mas- sive amounts of modern weapons." Also, he said, German scientists are continuing work to create nu- clear weapons for Egypt. De- nouncing American aid to Nasser, Rep. McGrath said that "without American aid, he could not have afforded German technicians and the materials they use." He said the Congress was asked in February to continue aid to Nas- ser "in order that the last door to reasoning with President Nasser might not be closed." But, he ob- served, "our reasoning has not re- sulted in abatement of his threats against Israel, and the time is fast approaching when Israel will be- gin irrigating the Negev with Jor- dan River waters." While the State Department at- tempts to reason with Nasser, he said, "we must also follow a more practical course—providing Israel with weapons in order to maintain the military balance. That is the only way to forestall an outbreak of war in that volatile part of the world." Addressing a public affairs conference in Chicago, Rep. Ro- man C. Pucinski, Illinois Demo- crat, urged that Congress "recognize the realities of life in the Middle East by approving as quickly as possible legislation barring Nasser and the Arab states from boycotting Ameri- can industry which does busi- ness with Israel." At the conference, sponsored by the Zionist Organization of Ameri- ca, Rep. Pucinski said "This at- titude by the Arab states is con- temptible and one has a right to ask how much longer will the United States government con- tinue to tolerate such impudence." Declaring that Israel has never been in greater danger, Rep. Puc- inski voiced the hope that the U. S. government would again reaffirm "its unequivocal determination that any act of aggression by the Arab states against Israel is an act of aggression against the United States and the Western democracies." Referring to the current Israel- Arab dispute over the Jordan river waters, the Illinois Congressman called for "a bold reaffirmation" by the United States of the pro- posal for distribution of the waters advanced in 1953 by the late U. S. envoy Eric Johnston and the tech- nical provisions of which were ac- cepted by both Israel and the Arab states. The plan was later re- jected by the Arab states for poli- tical reasons. "It is my belief," he declared, "that peace can be brought a lit- tle closer to reality when the water problem is resolved in the Middle East. It would be my hope that the United States will stand firm in supporting the moderate pro- posals of Israel in bringing about such a solution. It is only a firm position that the Arab states un- derstand." * NEW YORK (JTA)—A call for the convening in New York of a world conference on Yiddish schools—the first parley of the kind ever scheduled—was issued by the Congress of Jewish Culture and three organizations that main- tain Yiddish schools in the United States.

Addressing a press conference here, Blagojevic expressed the view that, following the Bonn Par- liament's decision, the statute of limitations for Nazi war criminals remained valid in West Germany, which, he said, was contrary to the provisions of international law and the norms of international morals.
